THE
NEED FOR ADAPTING DOCTRINE
THE "Why" & "Who"
My
intent is to incorporate solution for UNCERTAINTY in warfare in
existing Doctrine.Uncertainty leads to Surprise , something which
is the primary endeavour of any Commander in warfare.Indications
and Warning surely affords a solution , but indications and
warning often leads to a reactive intelligence collection..we
wait until a new capability or weapons system is discovered ,
that capability or system is implemented by the enemy with
devastating results , still we cannot counter it as it being new
we do not have a defense system nor a counter-system , and by the
time we develop it they have either have had sufficient time
to test it practically on us and develop it further or we
have had terrible losses in our armed forces , installation , C2
nodes or for that matter overall defeat.Had we incorporated
adaptability , creativity , exploration , continual
experimentation , critical reviews of existing tactics ,
techniques , procedures and SOPs in light of intelligence information
about an asymmetric enemy with our counterintelligence being
totally offensive to get us information on plans before the indicators
surface (thats why I said reactive intelligence collection--before the
indicators surface we know nothing of their plans) then we wouldn't be
taken by surprise and we would have been prepared for that new
developed capability or weapons system.Read more...
